The twelfth season of the Ukrainian reality talent show Holos Krainy premiered on 16 January, broadcasting every Sunday at 21h (9 p.m) on 1+1.
Hence, for the first time in the Ukrainian version, a fifth coach was added: the duo Andriy Matsola and Oleksandra Zaritska (who was a contestant in season four).
To form their team, this duo coach selects contestants who performed in the main competition and failed to advance to the next rounds.
The show added takes of contestants empowering and inspiring people through music as well as in memory of the soldiers at the frontline.
On 20 November, Petro Chornyy was named the winner by the public, marking Oleksandra Zaritska & Andriy Matsola's first win as coaches.
This episode was recorded after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine with contents of the coaches and contestants sending their best wishes to their motherland and regards to the soldiers at the frontline.
For this season, it was added a brand new phase of competition called "Другий шанс" (in Ukrainian Druhyy shans, meaning "Second Chance") that was exclusive to the show's official YouTube channel.
After failing to go through to the next rounds, artists had the chance to be selected by duo coach, Andriy Matsola and Oleksandra Zaritska, to become a member of their team.
The first phase was part of the main show's blind auditions segment and, throughout its seven episodes, Oleksandra & Andriy chose 14 artists that failed to turn a chair.
In YouTube episode 8, the winners of the auditions (Elizaveta Ovramenko, Spiv Brativ, Marta Lyubchyk, Oleksandr Bykov, and Marko Shvaykovsʹkyy) come back to battle against three artists (Guli Guli, Dmytro Rotʹkin, and Tina Kolodiy) that Oleksandra & Andriy saved from the main competition's episode 8.
For this phase, coach Svyatoslav Vakarchuk did not return to mentor his team members, Aliye Khadzhabadinova, Dimash Dauletov, Mykhaylo Tsar, and Anna Kindzersʹka.
